> It's really funny - my wife and I make quite a bit of money - whatever twisted form of capitalism we currently live in has been designed in such a way to extract most of it away from us. I think it's evolved, not designed. A (arguably the) key element of capitalism is that a dollar extracted from an individual transaction is a dollar that can buy capital to scale up the extraction. That means exponential (actually logistic, I suppose) growth scaling with how much an entity can extract.
